    LECTURE. So numerous, and universal, and continual are the evils which the human race have suffered in this world, that we are accustomed to consider diseases and pain as the necessaiy afflictions which legitimately grow out of our constitutional nature and appropriate circum- stances ; and hence we either bear these afflic- tions with what resignation we are capable of, as the wrise dispensations of a good and merciful Creator, or sullenly and proudly endure them, with what fortitude we possess, as the blind and unavoidable casualties of inexorable fate. In both cases we are almost equally in error, and by our false notions prevent those advantages which we might otherwise gain by our experience.
